Sushi Hayakawa

Even better than anticipated. There are only 8 seats at the bar right in front of Chef Hayakawa. We loved the interaction with Chef and his personable approach. I thought he might just talk about the food but he invited all types of questions on his history and approach. While I don’t think he cares that much (cause I asked) let’s hope he gets at least one Michelin star simply because it’s deserved (not that it matters cause it won’t change how amazing this place is).

A late review but after trying other Omakase places around, I can confidently tell you that this is the BEST Omakase experience you can get in Atlanta. Haya San (the chef) is very knowledgeable, and unlike other chefs who are relatively quiet during the preparation, he tells you everything about the food, and his life, and answers all your questions. The price tag is there, but the quality (and quantity) of the food, and the chef's engagement truly make it worth it.

Hayakawa sushi bar is the first place I have ever experienced Omakase. The food is so fresh and delicious no questions about. The interior and elegant atmosphere is so delightful. It is just amazing. Haya San is a very charming and entertaining person. Big thanks to my kids for such a wonderful gift. @hayakawaatl . . . . . #hayakawa #sushi #omakase #omakasesushi #reels #instagramreels

One of the things that makes Sushi Hayakawa in Atlanta so special is the chef's extensive experience and expertise. Chef Hayakawa has been in Atlanta for over 30 years, and during that time he has honed his craft and developed a deep understanding of Japanese cuisine. His passion for high-quality ingredients and expert preparation is evident in every dish that comes out of the kitchen. Whether he's slicing sashimi, grilling fish, or crafting rolls, Chef Hayakawa takes great care to ensure that every dish is both visually stunning and incredibly delicious. My favorite bites were the OToro “fatty tuna” (this was an add on, and it wasn’t on the menu) and the Uni , which we chose to go with the hand roll. In addition to his impressive culinary skills, Chef Hayakawa is also known for his warm and welcoming personality. He takes great pride in his work and loves nothing more than sharing his passion for Japanese cuisine with others. There is always something new to learn from him. Since it was a Valentine’s Day dinner, the chef also gave all the women at the table. A single rose to take home. Overall, Sushi Hayakawa long tenure in Atlanta and his dedication to his craft make this restaurant a must-visit destination for anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience. Parking is also simple and easy. park in the parking deck and take the elevator up to level to level two. You can also get your parking ticket validated from the restaurant.

Great experience! Definitely a must visit when visiting Atlanta or if you’re a local. Haya San is a gracious host as he brings you on a culinary journey for the evening. We were honored to have been given a culinary tour of his home town through the various dishes, highlighted ingredients from Hokkaido. I would definitely come again. The space is also gorgeous

AN INCREDIBLE intimate Japanese dining experience led by chef Haya San. They import weekly sushi from Japan so you know you’re getting the BEST ingredients and the most authentic experience. Still dreaming about the fatty tuna….we live in boston but will take a trip to ATL just to go back! Easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in my life!

If you’re looking for AUTHENTIC sushi this is it. Chef Hayakawa is one of a kind. I’ve been dining with him for years now and nothing in the city compares to this. I’m an avid foodie and tend to eat at the best sushi places everywhere in the world when I travel. Haya San is hands down one of the most passionate in his craft and shows in his food. The intimate connection during the meals are always great. Definitely deserves a Michelin star.
